fakesleep is a simple module for tests that use time.sleep(). Sleeping in
tests is generally considered bad (as it makes tests run slow). Using
sleep with time.time() can lead to spurious failures, as clock
precision / interpeter overhead can cause small differences in reported
times.

But sometimes, you need sleep().

fakesleep provides a fake implementation of time.sleep() that doesn’t
actually sleep. It also guarrantees “correct” results for calls to
time.time() and other time functions. Note that datetime functions are
not faked.
